btw: what is the success chance of the "Natalia shoot the cockpit glasses and jump out, dive into the water before the plane explode" plan?

Pretty much impossible. Falling into the water from over twenty stories up would have been equivalent to impacting a concrete surface from the same height. In addition, the chance of landing the airliner into the water, without having it explode into shrapnel, would have been extremely low.

Additionally, Kiritsugu already weighed all the possibilities.There is no possibility of Natalia surviving before all these Ghouls are completely destroyed. The only way to deal with this airliner full of Ghouls is to make it plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. The operation to eliminate the “Demonic Bee User” is achieved at the cost of the lives of all the passengers and crew and Natalia Kaminski – Kiritsugu was already prepared for this outcome.

But Kiritsugu knew his teacher would definitely demonstrate her amazing abilities at the last moment. Natalia, who held on to the creed of ‘must survive no matter what’, may prevent the body of the plane from crushing in order to save her own life. Kiritsugu must consider this as well – that would be the unpredictable worst result.

Natalia, who prioritizes her life above all else, must choose this outcome without hesitation after weighing out the risks.

Land the airliner filled with 300 Ghouls at the airport and release these hungry dead – she would definitely choose this method if there were no other choices. Kiritsugu had already made the preparations to deal with this 10000-to-1 possibility precisely because Kiritsugu knew her too well.

In order to prevent the disaster from expanding further, the A300 must not be allowed to land.

That is the unswayable truth regardless of Natalia’s welfare.

tl;dr: Natalia would only land at the airport if that was her only option left. If there was a 1% chance of surviving an ocean landing, she would have taken it.
